The lamb went into the lions jaws. A row

however, demonstrated earnestly against this

novel method to derive revenue
from the liquor traffic has been origi-
mated in Richmond, Va; heretofore the
custom has been universal, to make
only the sellers of intoxicants pay
license, but the city council of Richmond
propose to COMPEL every person who
drinks whisky to get out "whisky
drinkers license" for which he must
pay one dollar. No one will be allowed
to buy whisky who does not have this
license.
This scheme will work we'll both ways;
numbers of men who drink whisky will
be ashamed to go on record as licensed
whisky drinkers, and will quit; while
those whose morals are so low that they
will not be ashamed, will pay revenue
for the privilege of making themselves
worse than brutes; which, in many cases,
will be the only way such individuals
contribute anything toward the public
expenses of the community in which
they exist.

Gov. Hill, of New York, has found

actuating the legislature in passing the
bill he say: "While the question of
temperance is not a party question and
can not we'll be made such, it is i'm
possible to ignore the political aspects Of
the measure, especially where it is
known that its support was made the
subject at party caucus of the majority
,oftsle legislature, and where it has been
ingeniously devised and peculiarly
framed so as to operate solely upon the
two great Democratic constituencies of
the state, while Republican constitu-
